Suicides and Explosives.

The death of the Anarchist, Lingg, by
means of detonator exploded i'll his mouth
is not the first sef-murder of its kind In
1876 native of Alsace put a dynamite
cartridge into his mouth and fired it, with
the result of blowing his head and the upper
port of his body to pieces. In June, the
same year, at Wickham Market, in Suffolk,
a woman named Solomon, the wife of an
oil merchant, purchased quantity of gun
powdr, and, having made circle of it and
placed herself i'll the midst, she fired the
powder. The experiment was unsuccessful
only slight injuries were inflicted on the
woman. Thereupon she put a quantity OF
gunpowder into a pail, placed her
Sc over the bucket and applied the match.
On this occasion her injuries were more Sc
we're; but for her purpose the explosion was
again failure, and SO finished herself with
a knife At Nitshill, in Scotland, in Octo-
Der of the same year, a miner named Duncan
obtained some dynamite and blasting fuse
and went into the street, where ne placed
the dynamite on the ground, Leaned over il
and lighted the fuse At this moment
some boys, attracted by his unusual atti-
tude, came toward him. keep back. p
shouted Duncan, "for the love of God, or
you will be blown into eternityp The boys
stood aloof In few moments there was a
loud explosion, and Duncan was blown to
Runcorn filed his mouth with gunpowder,
ignited it with match, and succeeded in
blowing the top of his head off.
A more elaborate application of explo-
sives to the purposes of suicide and murder
combined was also recorded in 1888. AT
Dunedin, New Zealand, a clerk named
Stephenson, who bad been separated from
his wife, met her in the street, and exploded
dynamite cartridge close to her head, his
own head being placed at the same moment
very near to hers Both were almost COM
pletely blown off.
But the most remarkable case occurred on
the West coast of Africa. The King OF
Falaha being attacked by Mahommedan
force, and finding resistance impossible, as
sembled his family and principal officers,
and after addressing them and intimating
his determination never to accept Mahom-
mechanism, and inviting those who did not
agree with him TO go away, he applied a
light to large quantity of gunpowder col
lected for the purpose, and blew the palace
and all who were in it to pieces.

Tho Enemy Of Woman.

A review OF peculiarly ferocious COM
plexion is said to be on the point Of ap-
pearing in Vienna. It's title, Der Frauen-
Jeind (Anglice, 'srhe Enemy Of Woman'')
indicates the line it purposes taking up.
The editor, one Herr Grose, has set before
himself the object Of emancipating man
from his subsection to .sthat doll, woman,
who idiots ideaiize and fools bow down
before as to divinity" Herr Grose is
good enough, however, to notify that there
are exceptions to this denunciation, and
generally exempts whole classes of the
sex from the scope Of his review. His
venture seems to be made in good earnest,
and is likely to pay its way, for Of course
every Viennese lady will be only too anx-
ious to hand in her subscription.

SUGAR IMPORTS.
A Primitive Situation That Should Be Sur
mounted by American Farmers.

| Primitive Situation That Should BE Sur
mounted by American Farmers.
The report of Mr.. j. R. Dodge, sta
tistician of the United States Agricult.
ural Department., on the sugar pro.
duction of the world, contains some in
terestingdata. According to the figures
presented, the amount of beet-root
sugar produced in the season Of 1869
exceeds the cane sugar by 10000
metric tons, thus showing that more
than half the sugar used in commerce
is extracted from the beet. The man
ufacture of beet-sugar is entirely a
European industry. Mr.. Dodge states
that its success in Europe is largely
due to the "beet-stock' plan,
where each shareholder in the
stock of a beet-sugar factory
is required to furnish so many
beets per share. The farmers are
therefore, in reality, the manufacturers,
and, since they obtain the profits of the
manufacture, they are the most inter-
ested in raising good beets at a NOM
inal price. The total consumption of
sugar in this country in 1885 was l, 245,-
574 tons, of which only 10000 tons Cor
about three per cent were produced
here. There is only one beet-sugar
factory in this country, and that is in
California, which produces sugar at
five cents per pound, and has to COM
pete with free sugar from the Sand
witch islands. The report further
states that our sugar-consumption
amounts to about one-fourth of
all the sugar reported from the
countries of principal production, and
that within twenty-five years more than
10000 tons will be required, almost
sufficient to swallow up the present
production of beet-sugar, or the whole
of the present cane-sugar of commerce.
The report concludes as follows: Eat
time when labor is in excess of de-
mand, and corn and wheat and cotton,
and other old staples of primitive
agriculture, exceed the wants of do.
mestic and foreign markets, we scour
the world for root-products costing
more than 5000, 900, 600 per annum, the
larger portion of which should be pro-
duced in the United States. This prim-
tive and unentefprising situation must
be surmounted by more skilful,
scientific and inventive agriculture. -

POWER OF COCAINE.

The Peculiar Method Devised for Its Use
in Cases of Neuralgia.
DR.. Leonard Corning, well known as
e writer on nervous diseases, read be-
fore the State Medical Society, an in
teresting paper on the cure of neuralgia
by the use of cocaine The method
devised by DR.. Corning for introducing
the remedy into the skin about the at.
fected nerves and retaining it there, is
ingenious. A number of fine needles
are projected into the skin by means OF
adelicate instrument provided with
spring. This procedure is absolutely
painless, owing to the fneness of the
needles and the exceedingly rapid
action of the spring, which being
released instantaneously, propels
the former through the outer layer
of the skin. Over the perforated
portion of the skin sponge saturated
with solution of cocaine is placed.
This sponge is connected with the posi-
tive pole of galvanie battery. The cleo
trio circuit is then closed, procedure
which causes the cocaine to enter the
part, so that in abo ut ten minutes the
skin is saturated and quite insensitive.
Over the medicated portion of the skin
piece of fine wire gauze snow placed
and secured in position by means of an
elastic band, which on being frightened
sufficiently, exerts uniform pressure
upon the gauze. The effect of this pro-
cedure is to cause closure of the capil-
laries beneath the medicated skin, and
as result the blood, being thus denied
access to the part. can not wash out
the remedy and distribute it through
out the general circulation. Thus the
action of the remedy upon the nerves
of tho skin may be indefinitely pro-
longed.--N 7, Mail gnd E1prsss,

turn to Europe to seek at European water
